GOODBYE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS & HELLO WORD OF THE YEAR!

I was on the subway this morning, and the two women next to me were talking about their New Year’s resolutions. I’m not the traditional New Year’s resolution fan, partially because I brainwashed myself for YEARS that “this upcoming year would be my time to lose weight, get fit, and drink more water.” Instead of motivating, these because guilt-ridden, shameful, and embarrassing resolutions when I didn’t accomplish them.

My word going into 2018 is JUMP. I don’t want to be afraid of taking risks anymore. I want to JUMP into life. Every time I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone and opened myself up to new challenges, I’ve grown and felt accomplished.

What’s the absolute worst thing that could (realistically) happen? I fail? Get heartbroken? Have to feel uncomfortable feelings? That’s life right?

I feel as though I’ll be stepping into some of the biggest rewards of my twenties. I am ready for 2018 to be my year of giving it my all, thinking positively, and working towards the best.

What’s your word of 2018? Here are some ideas to get you thinking:

LOVE

FORGIVENESS

MINIMAL

BELIEVE

STILLNESS

THANKFUL

CONNECTION

I wish you guys never ending dreams and a furious desire to achieve some of them. Go into this new year and every day and deciding which dream, smallest or biggest, to pursue.

OH HEY THERE, WELCOME!

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs! I hope you can find some balance, assurance that progress does not mean perfection, and enjoy light readings about the ebbs & flows of a twenty-somethings life.
